George W didnt bow to the King of Saudi Arabia, he took him to Crawford and held his hand as they walked.
That was a point in favor of W's general character. The Saudi king is a frail old man and he wsa helping him walk with him. W also did this for Senator Robert Byrd.
Before that he helped the bin ladens leave the country, you know osama's family.
Along with members of the Saudi royal family. This bunch has been getting special favors from all US governments for the last 30 years. Nothing new there.
and before that, they backed his various failed business ventures.
Prove that, and don't reference any of the lib political boards.
Character assasination has been around ALOT longer than 1992. Why dont you look to the 1800's, When an Adams supporter wrote lies about Jefferson and Burr,

Sure, some of those early campaigns were very vicious. But that kind of viciousness died off after the civil war for many years until LBJ revived it during the 1964 campaign. And it has gotten progressively worse with each election cycle since then. Now it has gotten where when you tell the truth about a leftist candidate or his associates they call it a smear.
Also, read some more about what Jefferson wrote about Adams. He was not an Angel either
And if you wanna go more recent try Reagan and Mondale, remember the tank?
Get your facts straight, it was the 1988 campaign where Dukakis looked like a complete dork riding around in a tank after years of anti-military speeches and actions as governor of the Peepul's Republik of Taxachussetts. Reagan was not running that year due to term limitations, GHW Bush was. Mondale's own words doomed him from the start in 1984, all the Reagan campaign did was repeat them and contrast them to what he said and did.
Please stop thinking that democrats invented this stuff, Republicans are the most evil of all.
I would point to at least 50,000,000 deaths caused by abortion as the greatest genocide ever perpetrated, exceeded only by Mao's various purges, as the greater evil, which was enthustiastically supported by the Democratic party in all its forms, inclding the gruesome partial birth option. When it comes to vicious personal attacks, the Democratic party tkes second to no one. Witness the attackson Robert Bork, the attacks on Justice Thomas during his confirmation, the attacks on Justice Roberts during his confirmation, the utterly vicious attacks on Sara Palin, and the attacks on Justice Alito during his confirmation. Read up on Saul Alinsky. His methods are heart and soul of the left.
The point of this discussion was to ask why people didnt wanna hear Obama's speech, and I still got no good responses, especially when Bush Sr. did the same thing, except he actually visited a school.
What got most people worked up over this was the following in the K-6 "lesson plan" for the speech distributed by Arne Duncan.
"Students in grades pre-K-6, for example, are encouraged to "write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals." That statement in Duncan's letter set off most of the alarm bells and led to statements about it being "poorly worded" and to it's eventual retraction from the lesson plan.
Wonder what would have happened if Obama did that here, let me guess... insert ur favorite racist joke. Pathetic.
Insert standard leftist comment about racism. Pathetically predictable. When you cannot refute the logic start calling names. have you noticed that all the opponents of the efforts by Obama to push socialism down our throats is now being labeled racist. Stories about Charlie Rangel's tax troubles are being caled racist. Opposing Obama in anything will be called racist. Even that old murderer Castro is calling us racist for opposing Obama. You are taking you talking points directly from the Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.
You guys keep raising cane over nothing, its gonna get you real far in life... The lies have worked for the public option, which I doubt anyone can even explain properly.
Have you read that 1000+ page bill? I can tell you the public option as the leftists in Congress want it will duplicate the canadian/British system and destroy the best health care system in the world. Can you tell me why there are so many Canadian liscense plates in clinic/hospital parking lots in border cities? Why are there more CT scanners in Philadelphia, a metro area of population ~2,000,000 than in all of Canada, population 35,000,000? Again, you are talking directly from the leftist playbook by calling our repeating of what your dear leaders have said "lies".
Needless to say, Obama didnt brain was your children, so dont worry, he didnt get them to think "black". Man its a sad day in this country when over 230 years after we created it under the idea that all were created equal, we still cant have actual equality. Sad, sad, day...
It was changed at the last minute to take out all the overtly political crap and be just an inspirational speech like those given by Reagan and Bush 1 due to the fuss raised by the original intentions. We are nowhere near as stupid as you seem to think we are.
